Ask HN: What is your go-to solution for a personal wiki in 2026?

I've used Notion for a long time but I'm interested to hear what other alternatives exist in 2026? For me the main requirements are: * Backed up to cloud * Has a mobile app that is easy to make small changes (for example if I'm doing an oil change on my car I need to be able to pull out my phone and log it in the wiki easily) * Simple file format like markdown so that you're not locked into something proprietary (no need for crazy formatting options like MSWord) * Option to export data out as a backup * Allow uploading arbitrary files like PDFs, images, etc... * Nice to have but not essential: support for tables of data with simple calculations (e.g. sum this column)
